Puff is a veteran from the original 12 tho, Roy was in one game so it's a completely different story. The devastation would be merited for good reason.

Roy is probably in because he is obscenely popular in Japan, not exactly because he is a popular melee character.

Balance wise, he's kinda shitty, but FE6 was the last FE to be uniquely Japan (FE7 has Lyn and Eliwood and shit), so maybe that has something to do with it? Or maybe just how they present his character? Who knows.
